Fladrafinil / Adrafniil (modafinil alternative) review

14 posts in this topic

This is being sold as a modafinil alternative. It's not medication and is not FDA/EU approved but you can legally purchase it from online nootropic stores as a supplement. I bought this because I was unable to find any moda sources online and wanted to try a cheaper alternative that I could get within a few days. 

I've taken it a total of 3 times in different amounts and under different circumstances: 

  • 1st time: later in the day on a full stomach; 40mg
  • 2nd time: first thing in the morning, working from home; 60mg
  • 3rd time: first thing in the morning on short sleep; 120mg

Short review: it kinda sucks dude. It always felt like I was "on something" as opposed to real moda which is very subtle. It killed the heart connection for me, just for that reason I wouldn't recommend it. It does help motivate me to do tasks on my laptop but to me this type of productivity isn't productive at all because the creativity is missing. 

Social fluidity: fantastic, similar to cocaine or whatever but without the feeling good, just empty small talk that's very fluent. No point in this. 

Pros: 

  • Really wakes you up, felt overslept on short sleep
  • Shorter effect than moda; no difficulties falling asleep at night
  • Good for dumb tasks I guess

Cons:

  • Killed my heart connection; intuition, empathy, just for that reason I won't take it again
  • Social fluidity but it's empty
  • Killed creativity
  • Feels like I'm "on something" 
  • Ego boost

1/10 wouldn't recommend unless maybe you just got out of a coma and you don't wanna be drowsy.

I'll test this later, and see if it is different for me

No, take real modafinil. It's not like it's hard to get, don't waste your time and money on cowardice.


Nothing will prevent Willy.

But the dose is 150mg which is too high ngl

Ok so I just tried this again 8 months later and it didn't bother me as much as the first few times. In fact, I took 80mg this morning and I'm quite happy with it. Made me calm and clearheaded. Doesn't quite compare to real modafinil in my opinion but I want to try a higher dose soon. 

Today it felt more like a good nootropic than a wakefulness agent which is what modafinil is.

@Butters I tried 150mg of fladrafinil and it didn't do anything.

 

 

I tried 50mg of armodafinil, and it worked.

That's weird because Fladrafinil is metabolized in the liver into modafinil, which is then responsible for its wakefulness-promoting effects. 

And 150mg is more than I ever tried. Did you do on empty stomach? 

But when I have choice moda and armoda definitely better option.

@Butters I took in morning, waiting for it to kick in, never happened. Keep in mind I'm currently in depression so maybe that's why it didn't work

@Growly well good to hear that armodafinil is working for you. 

I ended up taking 200mg of fladrafinil today on short sleep and it feels great. Quite smooth though, much less potent than modafinil which is also why I have no difficulties sleeping on the stuff.
